Leptecophylla oxycedrus (formerly a subspecies of L. juniperina = Cyathodes juniperina;
Ericaceae) 2:427
Leptecophylla
oxycedrus is a dense shrub with sharply pointed leaves typical of the genus. This species
occurs in coastal lowland areas where it typically grows as a large shrub to a small tree (often taller than 3 m).
It is closely related to L. parvifolia, with which it may be easily be confused. However L. parvifolia typically grows at higher elevations (< 500m) and is often shorter (< 2m).
